How to Prioritize NEET Topics?

NEET 2023 Prioritize your Topics

  • Once you are well versed with the exam pattern and syllabus of NEET 2023, the next step is to assign a specific time for every topic.
  • This becomes simpler when you isolate the topics based on their difficulty level and importance (set the difficulty level according to your requirements as the difficulty of the topic differs from one candidate to another) i.e., Easy, Moderate, and Difficult. 
  • This will help you to focus on a subject properly as you will be able to devote ample time to every subject.
  • This technique of splitting NEET Syllabus provides the guidance required to create a viable timetable. Candidates can segregate the topics on the basis of the undermentioned matrix:
Subjects Level: High Weightage, Less Difficulty Level: High Weightage, High Difficulty

Level: Moderate Topics, Moderate Difficulty

Botany
  • Morphology

NEET Preparation Tips

NEET 2023: Preparation Plan

Step I: Know the Target

  • To achieve 600+ marks in NEET 2023, a candidate should aim to attain 150+ correct questions.
  • This means, out of 180 questions, the candidate should be able to solve at least 160 questions correctly, so that even if by chance the candidate fails to answer some questions, it won't matter much.
  • The key to success is that the candidate has to stop them from scoring negative marks.
  • The candidate should answer only those questions about which the candidate is 100% sure and can afford to take the risk. 

Step II: Know the subject in NEET’s Perspective

  • The candidate should be well aware about the difficulty level of the three subjects. This will help them to solve the questions appropriately. 
  • Biology is very theoretical and to the point, the subject needs not much thinking.
  • Only remembering the facts and concepts stated in NCERT will do the work.
  • The candidate should be well versed with all the diagrams, labels and examples related to the topics given in the book.
  • The candidate should ensure that they have revised each of these in double digits as many questions will be based on diagrams. 

Key: Practicing all diagrams with proper labelling can help you learn better 

Chemistry is a part theoretical and part application-based subject comprising of three parts, namely, Physical, Inorganic and Organic chemistry.

  • Questions of Physical Chemistry are mostly formula based, hence, one should be aware of all the formulas and the types of related to it.
  • Inorganic chemistry is something the candidate should use as a scoring point. If the concepts in inorganic chemistry are clear, no one can stop the candidate from scoring marks in the chemistry section of NEET 2023. 
  • Organic chemistry is mostly learning based. The questions asked in NEET from organic chemistry are mostly to the point. Chemical reactions and their names should be learned by heart

Key: Learning the Periodic Table is the key to success in Chemistry

  • Physics in NEET is rather tough as most of the questions are formula and application based and hence, it is destined to consume a lot of time of yours.
  • The questions are mostly formula based, so the candidate should be well versed with all the formulas and should know where to apply them. 

Key: Flowcharts can help clear your concepts in a much easier way. Divide the topics as major and minor topics and study accordingly. 

Step III: Study to Score

Apart from building a monthly time table, candidates should also prepare a daily time table and should strictly follow it. There are two types of studies, i.e., Self Taught Learning and Coaching. 

  • Candidates should know the difference between self taught learning and going to coaching classes. Learning is a personal process and it differs from one candidate to another.
  • Learning is something that will help you clear your concepts and give you in depth knowledge of the subject. Coaching classes are more beneficial for candidates whose concepts about the subject are clear and the only thing they need is regular practice. 
  • Candidates should devote at least 7-8 hours daily of rigorous study. The candidates can divide the subjects and topics to study based on their depth of knowledge in the particular subject. Divide the topics based on the venn diagram given below:

While studying, divide the topics on the basis of how difficult it is for you. Not only will this help identify your weak points but also it becomes easy for you to find the questions related to those topics on which you have a good grip and help you score sureshot marks in no time! In this way you will have ample time to solve the questions you find tough and lengthy.

Step IV: Make Notes instead of Spending Time Reading 

  • Learning gets better when a person writes what they learn.
  • As you start a topic, start making notes based on that in your own way.
  • A candidate may feel the urge of buying notes or getting them from their coaching institutes as it will require less work.
  • But as mentioned above, learning is a self process and should be done on their own. The more notes you make, the more the subject gets registered in your brain.
  • These notes will be helpful in the last moments before the exam as you could use them to revise the subject and as these notes are written in your own language, it will be easier to understand and won’ t create any further confusion in the eleventh hour. 

Step V: Practice, Practice, Practice!

The more you practice, the better are your chances to score more in NEET 2023. Once you are done with the learning part, lean towards the practice part. 

  • Solving last year's papers helps a lot as it will help you get accustomed to the exam pattern and while solving, you can devise new tactics for yourself.
  • During the last two months make it a habit of regularly solving at least 2 Previous Years question paper and Mock test papers and evaluate yourself at the end of each test.
  • Everyday, devote a minimum of 3 hours to solving MCQs on the subjects as it will help you to increase your speed and rational thinking.
  • Try to reach the goal of getting as many correct answers as you can and leave the habit of solving every question as the wrong answers can fetch you negative marks.

Step VI: Balance is a must

  • Keep a balance between work and play. This will help in maintaining your interest in the syllabus and level of productivity.
  • Take frequent breaks in the beginning and gradually reduce the frequency of breaks once the concentration ability is all built up.
  • Deal with the preparation process with patience, as shortcuts aren’t the solution. Rest is an important factor to make sure you are in the right mental and physical state to grasp more knowledge.

Step VII: Always Be Prepared 

  • The candidate is advised to read the instructions regarding what to take and what not to take to the exam centre so that on the day before exam they don’t panic.
  • Keep all the important documents and stationary together that you have to carry to the centre at least 3-4 days prior to the exam.

NEET is a parameter to gauge the genuineness and responsibility of understudies towards seeking after a medicinal course. This has led to a significant increase in the number of candidates appearing for the exam every year. This increase in the number of candidates has led to an increase in the competition amongst the candidates. Without a serious and sturdy preparation plan, making a significant mark in the exam is very difficult.
